Chapter 288: Xiao Qin, what are you doing with your ancestors

"Declaration of Independence, Xiao Qin, aren't you joking?" Obviously, Hu Xingwen was choked by his own saliva.

This is too fake, the Declaration of Independence is not a very ancient thing, it happened more than 200 years ago, and it was very well preserved at that time, and it is in the National Archives of the United States, which naturally cannot be fake.

And Qin Mubai now says that he has a declaration of independence in his hand, isn't this a trouble?

"No, I've studied it carefully, and I've also learned some archaeological knowledge on my own during this time, so I briefly self-examined, and I found that this thing doesn't look like a fake, so I can't figure it out, and I accidentally found that there seems to be something written in invisible ink on the back of it. Qin Mubai opened his mouth and said.

"Uh, Xiao Qin, have you watched too many movies. Hu Xingwen said with some confusion, there is something written in invisible ink on the back, whether this thing can be preserved for a long time is still a question, even if it can be preserved for a long time, what is there to write to the north, and it is still hidden? Is it really a treasure.

Naturally, he didn't believe in this Hu Xingwen, of course, he had also seen the movie National Treasure, the problem was that this thing was made up by the screenwriter, the Declaration of Independence had a woolen relationship with the Knights Templar, and the people who signed those states at that time were not strong, right?

"No, Professor Hu, this is true, otherwise please help me take a look? Qin Mubai said very simply.

"Okay, then you come over, I can only give you a preliminary appraisal, I can't make an authoritative judgment in this regard, but you don't have to go too far, I've been in Hohhot recently." Hu Xingwen said very simply.

"Okay, I see, I'll go over now. Qin Mubai immediately agreed.

This thing was given to him by Washington, so naturally it couldn't be fake, so after Qin Mubai took the thing, he drove away directly and went to Hu Xingwen's side, Hu Xingwen was here at the Hohhot Museum, and he didn't know what to do, but it had nothing to do with Qin Mubai.

It just so happens that people are in the city, so that's fine.

Soon, Qin Mubai arrived at Hu Xingwen, the other party was already waiting, Qin Mubai was not hypocritical, he directly handed over the Declaration of Independence, and took the things handed over by Qin Mubai, although several professors felt that it might be fake, but in fact, they were also full of interest.

No one knows if this thing is real or fake.

But the most basic, the basic work of identification still has to be done, everyone is in the cultural relics processing room in the museum, and with Professor Hu and them putting on white gloves, Qin Mubai hesitated for a moment, and also brought a pair of white gloves.

Several old professors immediately began to test, they are all experts in this field, not to mention, just relying on the naked eye and hand feel and so on can roughly judge the age of a material, although it may not be 100% accurate, but it is definitely much stronger than those who rely on the naked eye to blind.

"Hey, this thing seems to be more than 200 years old. "After a preliminary test, several old professors were a little confused. The Declaration of Independence of the United States is absolutely impossible to circulate, and this thing is not a celebrity calligraphy or painting, it is possible to be bought and sold, this thing is absolutely impossible to be bought and sold, that is, the thing in the National Archives of the United States is real.

But why is there another copy here? It's just a manifesto that explains the announcement, and there's no need to get two copies?

For example, the White House and the Capitol building in the United States were burned by British troops, whether this thing was lost at that time, this is not impossible, but this thing, I can't say.

"Xiao Qin, you said there is invisible ink behind this?" the old professor asked.

"Well, there's something secretly written, and I also stumbled upon it. Qin Mubai nodded very dryly.

For these things, these old professors are experts, and soon, under their professional processing, the font written on the back of the Declaration of Independence soon appeared, unlike in the movie, it was densely written on it, and someone next to it was taking pictures to record it, because this would soon disappear.

What can be seen from these handwriting fonts is that this is handwritten, not printed, you know, including the one kept in the National Archives of the United States in 13 states autographed, the contents of which are also printed, and now the front of this Declaration of Independence is also printed, and it is printed together with the autographed copy of the 13 states.

At that time, 500 copies of the Declaration of Independence were printed, but those were printed even with the signatures, and the signatures kept in the National Archives of the United States were purely handwritten.

And now, this one, along with the back of it, is purely handwritten, and most importantly, at the end, the place of signatures is not 55 people, but 14 people, including the then governors of 13 states and the most important person at that time, George Washington!

The 55 people in the Declaration of Independence did not have George Washington.

The picture taken from the back was entered into the computer, and soon after the computer sorted it out, all the complete content appeared on the screen, these grammars were standard British English, after all, American English at that time did not know where it was.

"Xiao Qin understands?" Hu Xingwen just wanted to explain, and suddenly remembered that Qin Mubai knew English, but they didn't know some of the words on it, after all, this kind of handwriting is sometimes different from written English words, this is like Chinese cursive, many people don't know it at all.

"You can see, if this thing is announced, the United States will have a lot of fun. Qin Mubai's tone was a little strange, no wonder Washington wanted to return this thing to the U.S. government, but Qin Mubai felt that although he didn't know why Lao Hua wanted to return it to the U.S. government, shouldn't it be better to let this thing disappear?

What is written on the back of this is a straightforward distribution of interests, and even includes a lot of rare insider trading, although they are the most important terms, but some of the interests and responsibilities of all people at that time have been listed above, to put it bluntly, the front of the Declaration of Independence is written in North America to pursue independence and freedom, all people in North America should enjoy the right to freedom, they for the sake of rights, for human rights, in order to resist the oppression of the British colonies, formally cut off all ties with Britain, and become a free country.

This is what is written on the front of the Declaration of Independence, but on the north side there is a lot of exchange of interests, something that has been inherited after the failure. It is like two extremes between the two, the first is written above board, for the sake of righteousness, for freedom, and the latter is written for the benefit of some lords.

If this thing is announced, the so-called American spirit will be like a firework, and it will disappear with a bang. Although everyone can see what the United States is like now, the spirit of freedom is still the American spirit that the US government is actively propagating.

And when these things are gone, you still promote a fart, although it doesn't matter, how people should live or how they live, but as a country, there must always be some spirit, right?

Especially when this thing was still the most critical thing in the United States back then, and now it is regarded as the foundation of the United States, this thing cannot be ignored.

After knowing some of the things described above, several old professors were a little speechless, and with these signatures, it is very likely that this document is true.

But that's too mysterious.

Many of them went to the United States back then, although most of them were ordinary people, but you have to admit that a considerable number of them were ordinary people, beggars, criminals, or fugitives who could not survive in Europe. Therefore, there are some things that cannot be studied deeply, and if you study them deeply, the problem is relatively big.

"By the way, Professor Hu, what do you think will happen if I send this thing to auction?" Qin Mubai hesitated for a moment and asked, mainly because there was no other way for him to return it to the U.S. government, so why don't you go directly to the auction?

"Uh...... This isn't good. Hu Xingwen choked for a moment, and said a little speechlessly: "If you want to send the film, the content of the north side of this thing will definitely be made public, I personally think that you might as well contact the FBI or CIA directly." ”

"Poof......" Qin Mubai was directly choked by his own saliva, I damn it, the FBI is okay to say, I can only say that the senior police officers in the United States, but the CIA ...... I'll go, last time Nima was scared by someone with the CIA when I was in Europe, and now take the initiative to go to the door?

"But, Xiao Qin, can I ask a question?" Hu Xingwen couldn't help but ask.

You say. Qin Mubai coughed dryly twice before speaking.

"Can you tell us what your ancestors did?" Hu Xingwen's tone was a little strange.

As soon as Hu Xingwen's question came out, Qin Mubai was also a little speechless, I know what my ancestor did? Old Hu, it's not fun for you to ask like this. Can I tell you that my ancestors specialized in selling and collecting cultural relics?

"Actually, I don't know...... Because I'm still in a state of confusion, but, Professor Hu, can you do me a favor and introduce me to the people here from the Hohshi Municipal Government?" Qin Mubai laughed dryly, and then changed the topic, I don't even know who my ancestor is now, although there is a family tree, but the family tree does not say what our family does.

"Hohhot Municipal Government, are you going to build a museum?" Professor Hu immediately asked curiously.

"Well, I'd like to contract some hills. Qin Mubai said his thoughts very simply, "The place I am currently looking at is the mountainous area southeast of Hohshi, the mountain that belongs to Helinger. ”

"It's too far away from the city, isn't it?" Liu Mingtai, the director of the Hohhot Museum next to him, couldn't help but speak.

"It's not too far, but it's forty or fifty kilometers away. Qin Mubai smiled and said.

"Forty or fifty kilometers, but there are a lot of suburban villages in between, and the roads there are not very convenient. Liu Mingtai said with some doubts.

If the distance is close, can I afford to buy it?
